This was our first visit to botanical gardens. Compared to the photos I’ve seen this trip was a complete let down. I saw no flowers, or nice arrangements.

The pumpkins all carved in their hundreds must have taken so much effort for everyone to do and they looked fabulous all lit. I'd love to see the park in full bloom in Summer, so may have to arrange...
